Essentially the most astute of followers have observed over the course of the 12 months I’ve been trialing some new DC Rainmaker branded biking and operating gear. It’s been various years because the final biking package was accessible, and loads of you might have been asking for one thing to be accessible once more. Not solely that, but in addition a operating technical shirt as effectively!
We partnered with CIOVITA for these kits, which makes high-end biking and operating kits for a lot of groups, in addition to additionally occasions just like the famed Cape Epic race in Cape City, South Africa, and extra. The firm relies in Cape City as effectively, although the kits ship globally with customs pre-paid forward of time. I’ve been testing kits since again in January, in some circumstances actually beating the crap out of them to make sure the standard is what I need. We made the kits first accessible on the DCR Open Home again in July, after which expanded it to DCR Supporters shortly after that. Since then a lot of them have posted to Strava and elsewhere sporting the brand new goodness!
Briefly, the first assortment contains (each males’s and ladies’s variants):
– Biking jersey
– Biking bibs (common)
– Biking cargo bibs
– Biking gilet
– Biking socks
– Operating technical shirt
I say ‘assortment’, as a result of we’re going to launch another limited-run kinds all year long, however this package is the principle DC Rainmaker package. As effectively, we hope so as to add just a few chilly climate choices arising this fall.
On the biking facet, the kits can be found in a variety of sizing. Do verify the sizing charts listed on the backside of every web page, as a result of as at all times, it varies by actual product. For instance, my spouse is sporting a small biking bib, and a S biking jersey (seen under) arguably she wants an XS on this type. You possibly can combine and match. In the meantime, I’m sporting XL of each.
In fact, my favourite a part of the brand new package might be the biking cargo brief bib. That’s been amazeballs for me and carrying cameras, drones, and even simply diet. It’s turn into my defacto place for each motion cams and drones, however on the diet entrance, I discover having it there serves as a greater reminder.
Lastly, over on the operating facet, the technical shirt is extremely light-weight. It was a requirement for me to have one thing for the runners this go round, as many individuals requested it through the years (heck, together with myself).
Additionally, while you cannonball within the water post-run, it dries out actually shortly within the solar. I imply, simply in case that’s a think about your buying determination. I can verify it’s cannonball-certified.
Lastly, by way of logistics, the very best half is there are not any pre-orders or such. It’s simply immediately accessible, at the least till preliminary inventory runs out. Ciovita ships globally, and any relevant customs taxes/duties are pre-included within the ultimate value you see. Via all the assistance of DCR Supporters and people who got here to the Open Home, we’ve been making certain no snags within the delivery to many international locations all over the world. All shipments are finished by way of FedEx or DHL, and sometimes take 2-3 days to reach.
Once more, it is a enormous distinction from the previous the place you needed to pre-order and wait some weeks. This time round, we’ve pre-stocked every little thing, so you’ll be able to have instantaneous gratification (effectively, at the least till the primary lot sells out – so…ya know, act fast!), however we are going to proceed to re-stock so long as you proceed to purchase!

Thanks once more to everybody who’s given suggestions on the designs in testing over the past 6-8 months, in addition to those that’ve already bought the kits. Undoubtedly tag me on social media or Strava in the event you’re sporting one, so I can share it out!
